Tagalog Language and writing system
The indigenous language of the Tagalog people is Old
Tagalog, which has now transformed into Modern Tagalog.
The Modern Tagalog has 5 distinct dialects. The Tanay Tagalog of Tanay, Rizal has the deepest Tagalog words despite influx from other cultures; it is the only highly preserved Tagalog dialect in mainland Luzon and is the most endangered Tagalog dialect. Southern Tagalog (Batangas and Quezon) on the other hand are unique, as they necessitate the use of Tagalog without the combination of the English languages, in contrast to Central Tagalog (Manila, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal except Tanay), which is predominantly a mixture of Tagalog and English.
The Northern Tagalog (Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Zambales, and Bataan), is also a distinct dialect as it has words inputted into it from the Kapampangan and Ilocano languages. Lastly, the Marinduque Tagalog dialect is known as the purest of all Tagalog dialects, as the dialect has little influence from past colonizers.
